Erie Insurance offers Transportation Expenses coverage in a whole new way. Instead of having to figure out how much a daily rental might cost, you choose a class of vehicle from a menu of choices. Each class has a corresponding insurance premium. So if you’re someone who can get by with a compact car during a covered repair, you select the lower cost, Class 1 option.

This means you won’t be shocked at the rental car counter if an accident sends your vehicle to the repair shop.
